Greek Communist Party calls for migrant construction worker protections

Members of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), including Giorgos Lamproulis, have submitted formal inquiries to the Ministers of Migration and Asylum and Labor and Social Security. The inquiries address the legal residency and employment challenges faced by thousands of migrant construction workers in Greece.

Despite working for many years in the sector, many migrants struggle to issue or renew residency and work permits due to legislative changes and stricter requirements. These difficulties extend to accessing social security numbers (AMKA), tax identification numbers (AFM), and fulfilling tax and insurance obligations. The KKE warns that these administrative and legislative hurdles leave workers vulnerable to exploitation and prevent them from exercising their full labor and social security rights.
